Theme of the Month
Accepting Others
School Attendance
Attendance is crucial because it sets the foundation for students' academic success, personal development, and future opportunities.
- Regular attendance is strongly correlated with academic success. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to keep up with the skills being taught, leading to overall academic success.
- School attendance provides opportunities for students to interact with peers and teachers, engage in classroom activities, and develop important social skills.
- Regular attendance helps students develop good habits, including punctuality and discipline.
PTO News
April 20- Douglas Town Wide Clean Up Check in 9:30-10:30
From the Nurse:
Vision/Hearing Referrals: As a reminder, if you received a vision and/or hearing referral letter for your child, please be sure to bring it to the provider and send it back to me. I will be following up with all families in May. Some vision problems can be corrected if detected early!
If uncorrected vision impairments can:
- Negatively impact a child's development
- Lead to behavioral problems in the classroom
- Interfere with early literacy and learning
- Lead to permanent vision loss
- Continue to affect health and well-being into adulthood
